I catch myself blinking and trying to make sense of it... is this really real? I have a daughter and she is just the sweetest soul. She likes me. And I like her. A whole lot.
When we go places, she attracts smiles and coos and glistening wrinkled eyes from old people.
At home, she adds the the icing and pink sprinkles to our already delicious cake. We had a pretty good party going on before she arrived. And she is truly the belle of our ball.
Ivy LaRue- 6 weeks old
Alright, alright! She can be seen in the pink dress here.
So sweet. Isn't it amazing how much love your heart can hold?! Just when you think it couldn't get fuller. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to see her in that pink dress!

ReplyDeleteDo you guys go to a lot of galas? You know, you mentioned Ivy's pinkness but not one word about your shoes...
SO Sweet! 6 weeks already!? All that pink adds up fast too :)

Isn't thinking pink wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOhh already 6 weeks! Wait a min, mine is almost a month! HOLY MOLY! How does time fly!!
ReplyDeleteShe is so pretty, Steph. I loved all the pink and frills when my girls were babies. I love it when you talk about how you "like" her.
ReplyDeleteOh you're making me really wish I had a girl. lol Alas, I doubt it will happen as this pregnancy has been so so difficult that I do believe it'll be our last. I'll just live through you and Ivy ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of you two. Who do you think she is resembling? Does she look like any of your boys?
Nell

ReplyDeleteWhat a great description of what a baby girl can do to a house full of boys!!!
ReplyDeleteI COMPLETELY Understand. My first 3 years of being a mommy to a girl have been fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so cool about having a real-life babydoll to dress in pink and tights! glad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteShe is just so adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww you are both adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I was so totally gonna fuss at you for not posting her IN COLOR in the pink dress, but I guess you had enough people do it before I commented that you linked to the picture for us all :)
ReplyDeleteIt's infectious, all that pink, isn't it???
SUCH a great picture! You are both beautiful! Has it really been 6 weeks?
ReplyDeleteI love that pink dress! And Ivy is starting to show her own little look, not quite so newborn. She reminds me of Allison at that age.
ReplyDeleteJen
What a beautiful picture of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteJenn
She is just precious. That is the cutest dress and the "shoes" - too cute. I bet you are having so much fun with her.
ReplyDeleteYou two are GORGEOUS! Isn't pink THE BEST!?
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends had a girl last year after two boys -- and she didn't know what she was having. She is still in HEAVEN. Pink is the best.
ReplyDeleteShe is so sweet, Stephanie.
She is quite a looker!
